Episode Synopsis

Send us a textJoin Professor Jeffrey Sachs and political and media analyst Norman Solomon as they discuss Solomon’s important new book, War Made Invisible: How America Hides the Human Toll of Its Military Machine.  Listen in as Solomon and Sachs explore the intricate interplay between the mainstream media and powerful political forces that promote America’s disastrous “wars of choice” – including the US-led wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, and currently the US-Russia proxy war in Ukraine and the US backing of Israel’s war in Gaza.   Solomon’s book explores how American foreign policy has become one of perpetual war, and how the media systematically hide the tragic human and political consequences of these wars, thereby enabling the US Government to perpetuate these conflicts.Footnotes:Ukraine War2023 Israel-Hamas WarVietnam WarMLK - madness of militarismPseudo-democracyPropagandaOrwellianPolitical Geology of 1984Rules-based Order NATOMilitary-industrial ComplexEthnic CleansingNATO Bombing of YugoslaviaGenocideRashida TlaibSouth Africa’s Genocide Case Against Israel at the ICJCommon DreamsWar in YemenPentagon PapersWar ProfiteeringInformation Warfare - Censorship⭐️ Thank you for listening!➡️ Sign up for the newsletter: https://bit.ly/subscribeBCJS➡️ Website: bookclubwithjeffreysachs.org 🎉 Don't forget to subscribe and share your favorite episode with your friends! 📣 Leave a rating and tell us what you thought about this episode!
